About

"A must-read for any parent seeking wisdom for their vital and increasingly challenging role."--Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family

Our children and teens are growing up more anxious, depressed, and fearful than previous generations. But if we help them discover true God-confidence--instead of chasing the illusive self-confidence--we can empower them to embrace their uniqueness and find their purpose, passion, and peace as they grow into humble, compassionate, and resilient young people.

In this hopeful book, associate marriage and family therapist Cyndie Claypool de Neve explains how you can help your kids discover the purpose for which God created them. God-Confident Kids is filled with stories, Scripture, psychological insights, and practical tips to help you move from fear-based parenting to faith-filled parenting as you claim Ephesians 2:10 for your kids: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (NIV).


"Kids increasingly derive their confidence from liked selfies and video game accomplishments. This is shaky ground! God-Confident Kids will open your eyes and shift your perspective to what really counts in life. Your children will thrive beyond your wildest dreams as they place their confidence in Christ alone."--Arlene Pellicane, speaker and author of Parents Rising: 8 Strategies for Raising Kids Who Love God, Respect Authority, and Value What's Right


Cyndie Claypool de Neve is the coauthor of Unshaken, Start with Praise, and Raise Them Up.

"What is our God-given purpose, and how do our goals and standards impact that heavenly purpose? There isn't a more important conversation to have in Christian homes today. Cyndie's book God-Confident Kids: Helping Your Child Find True Purpose, Passion, and Peace shares biblical insights on how we can influence not only the hearts of the children in our own homes but also the hearts of the families around us and ultimately the hearts of the community at large."

"In God-Confident Kids, Cyndie Claypool de Neve points out that while we live in a culture that promotes the value of self-confidence, what our kids really need is God-confidence! Cyndie brings her biblical insight, relevant research, and real-life experience to bear on this important topic, showing us that raising God-confident kids is possible. This is an intensely practical book written by a tried-and-tested mom who has lived these principles out in her own home and has successfully raised some of the most God-confident young adults I have seen."
